"While some biographers claim Rommel had retrieved the goggles from an abandoned British vehicle, stating that "even a general was allowed a little booty," a 2015 Daily Mail article claims that a British POW actually gave his goggles to the general. After his capture, Major General Michael Gambier-Parry was invited to supper with Rommel, where he informed the field marshal that his hat had been stolen by a German soldier. Rommel investigated, and returned Gambier-Parry's hat, but asked if he could keep the British-issue goggles that the general had left in his staff car.[83] They became part of his signature appearance, and he was rarely photographed without them after 1941. Rommel would also receive his moniker, the Desert Fox, in the weeks following his victories there. In German "Wustenfuchs," it described a "small fox with a habit of burrowing quickly into the sand to escape predators, affording human occupants of the desert only an occasional fleeting glance."
